Project Sashakt: Five-point formula for resolution of bad loans at PSU banks

Hindustan Times  

Finance minister Piyush Goyal unveiled ‘Project Sashakt’, a five-prong strategy to deal with non-performing assets. Goyal clarified that no proposal was put forth to create a bad bank to deal with the rising NPAs, adding that independent AMCs and steering committees would be set up for faster resolution of bad loans in the banking system. The committee of bankers, led by Sunil Mehta, the chairman of Punjab National Bank also recommended an alternative investment fund -based resolution approach for loans above Rs. Considering the importance of the small and medium enterprises sector, the committee recommended that banks should create a focused vertical for management of stressed assets for priority resolution of SMEs with loans up to Rs. In case the lead bank is unable to complete the resolution process within 180 days, the asset would go to the National Company Law Tribunal.
